Thanks a bunch -- don't know why it didn't occur to me, but I never
checked whether there was a Bradford List.

I'm on the list now, so I'll see replies directly.

Repeating the initial inquiry:

Here is the branch I am currently tracing, as far back as I have any
information:

William Bradford married Elizabeth Chambers on Apr. 12, 1719 in St.
Peter's Church in Leeds, Yorkshire, England [Bradford2]. From this
marriage there were five children born:
- Ralph Bradford (b. Dec. 12, 1719/20) born in Mabate, a neighborhood
east of Leeds
- William Bradford (b. c1722) baptized Mar. 26, 1722 in Methley parish,
about 7 mi. SE of Leeds.
- Thomas Bradford (b. c1722) baptized Mar. 26, 1722 in Methley parish.
- Elizabeth Bradford (b. Mar. 8, 1725) born in Quarry Hill, a
neighborhood east of Leeds.
- John Bradford (b. Jan. 31, 1726) born in Quarry Hill.

Thomas Bradford m. Elizabeth Fielding on Dec. 29, 1743, and together
they had six children:
- John Bradford (b. Apr. 8, 1745; d. 1820)
- William Bradford (b. Feb. 9, 1747/8) in Quarry Hill.
- Elisabeth Bradford (b. Sep. 16, 1749) in Quarry Hill.
- Mary Bradford (b. Sep. 4, 1751) in Mabate.
- Ann Bradford (b. Sep. 12, 1754) in Mabate.
- Phebe Bradford (b. Jan. 22, 1756) in Quarry Hill.

John Bradford was born in Quarry Hill, east of Leeds, Yorkshire, England
c1745. He served in the Revolutionary War under Captain Thomas Berry's
company of the 8th Virginia Regiment. He enlisted December 15, 1776 and
was discharged September 16, 1777. In 1778 he bought 230 acres of land
in Hardy County, Virginia, on Patterson Creek.
In 1778 John m. Johana Regina Hannah Shrout (b. May 17, 1762; d. c1843)
and they had eleven children, all born in Virginia. In 1807, they
brought the younger children to Ohio, settling on White Women,
Coschoctron County, later settling in Highland Township, Muskingum
County, Ohio. John died at age 85; Hannah died at age 81. Both are
buried in Ohio.

John and Hannah are my wife's g-g-g-grandparents.

Thank you for your help if you are able to provide any information on
this family line.
